S: Sort of a sweet aroma to it with a fair amount of toasted malt. A bit bland on the nose, though, not much in the way of hops, even the more subtle "English" hops that you might expect. Just a faint floral note on the back end.

T: The flavor is fairly sweet as well with toffee, toasted bread, and a touch of caramel. Like the aroma, subtle hop flavors are present, mostly floral in nature with just a bit of citrus peel bitterness.

M: Medium bodied with medium carbonation.

O: While not my favorite, English pales can be good, but this one was just too bland. (667 characters)

Draught at PP San Clemente on July 2, 2009. Copper with a white head. Lots of herbal spicy and woody hops in the aroma, along with some darker bread crust. Toasty and light caramel malt flavor with some almost bunt bread crust and a resinous bitter finish. Pretty well balanced, but the finish is definitely on the dry and bitter side, with a pretty complex malt flavor pretty much giving way to the hops. Medium-light in body with medium bobbles helping the hops out. There are English hops all over the aroma and finish of this guy. Tasty, and surprisingly not seemingly enjoyed as much by most other people. I think they are dialing this in with the new batch. (663 characters)

On tap at Papago'sPoured a nice deep orangish color with a small white head. Nose is English malts, nice hops slightly sugary and a tad biiter. Some floral notes. Caramel is a dominating flavor. Mouthfeel is rather creamy and slight spice, malts. Not one of my favorite Port beers but ok. (289 characters)

Orange color with a good dash of brown. Head is white, served with a finger-tall head that doesn't last nor leave much lace. Nose is lightly floral and earthy with hops; in EPA style it's rather understated.

The flavor is mild and pleasant overall. Caramel and pale malts form the bulk of the taste, with only a mild hop presence. Spicy, gingery aftertaste. A little watery.

Probably a good call on cask, but on the taps nothing to write home about. (453 characters)

A- a deep golden, slight orange, hazy, really nice creamy head. Just the way you would expect a pale ale to look from cask.

S- Mostly sweet, slight earthy hops, nothing stood out here too much, but I don't think it was too out of whack for an English style Pale Ale.

T- Sweet caramel type malt flavors dominate here... some earthy hops go along with it but mostly it's a watery type malt flavor. Sweetness is not cloying or anything though.

M- For a cask english pale it I didn't think it felt too bad. I thought the temperature was really good, not too warm, not too cold, and the carbonation was fine.

D- Sadly, I wouldn't have another. I can only take so much cask beer. I really do like my beer cold, regardless of what beer it is, and cask rarely satisfies me here. It was ok while it lasted though. (808 characters)
